Hull City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
Hull City are currently 19th in the league, and have won one of their last five league games. Their current form does not inspire confidence, and they will surely like to put more distance between them and the relegation spots.
West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, are 13th in the league, and have lost four of their last five league games. The season has not gone according to plan for the Baggies, who started the 2021/22 campaign with the aim of returning to the Premier League.
A draw seems ideal.
Prediction: Hull City 0-0 West Bromwich Albion
